It's 4am and I'm calling it for the jam!
This project turned out way more challenging than expected, and in the end I had to resort to ad-hoc solutions to get growth that looks somewhat tree like.

I realise that the proper system will have to involve some skeletal physics simulation of sorts. The paths branches take greatly depends on surrounding factors, such as access to sunlight, and proximity to other branches.

I definitely want to return to this project at some point. The foundation is in place but more research will be required.

It seems that I've finally managed to implement rotors (the geometric equivalent to quaternions). As the tree grows, branches are going to want to take different paths depending on factors, and so there's going to be a lot of rotations involved. For tomorrow I'll try to work out some scheme that produce somewhat tree-like results. Making a proper simulation will require more time and a lot more research.

The simulation is all kinds of jank at the moment but it's coming along. Most of the time has been spent on resolving technical issues.

After redoing more of the code base than intended I finally got started with the actual project!
During and before the jam I've been doing some reading and sketching on the growth simulation.
I'm streaming the whole process.

The program now has a pipeline for drawing points, lines and triangles, which will be used for visualising the abstract representation of the tree. Next up is to get some rudimentary simulation going.
